I could, conceivably, cast some bullets And how will you melt it? Assuming you would. Tungsten has a melting point of 3400°C. Nick -- Motor Modelle // Engine Models http://www.motor-manufaktur.de |

Also works with jacketed bullets. Ive spent a fair bit of time making hollow points out of cast semi wadcutters using a second ops lathe. Works well on coyotes and bunnies. If the bullet is of sufficient diameter..drilling and inserting a starting pistol .22 blank can make an interesting projectile as well. Or so its been said.

Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us) off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give them self determination under "play nice" rules. Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you for torturing the cat." Gunner |
